Mad King George and the loyalists in the legislature are not going to voluntarily give us freedom or liberty or allow us any real input and a representative government. The Supreme Court (which handed the election to Bush) isn't going to do it.
Many liberals still hope that the Democratic congress has some intention of impeaching Bush and Cheney, investigating 9/11, fixing the voting system, ending the Iraq war, or preventing war against Iran. They are hopelessly naive.
Did writing letters to our Democratic representatives work to stop the Iraq war? Has it worked to force a new 9/11 investigation? Is it working to prevent a war against Iran?
Many people voted for a Democratic congress and then trusted them to fix things. But they didn't, and it has now become apparent to those paying attention that the Dems are part of the problem.
Those who still naively trust that the Democratic congress members are good folks who are trying to stop the Neocons are blind to the fact that the Democrats don't want to do anything between now and the next election (and most of the Democratic presidential candidates don't want to do anything to change things even after the election).
On the other side, most Fox news watchers hope that the Iraq war will turn out okay. And they hope that if you torture enough brown-skinned people, everything will work out fine. And that the destruction of liberties in the U.S. is temporary. Their rose-colored glasses are preventing them from seeing the truth as much as the liberals.
The patient is mortally wounded and the prognosis is grim. America is in imminent risk of death. Only heroic measures can save the U.S.
And no one is going to do it for us. Not the White House or attorney general . . . not the congress . . . not the courts. Unfortunately, they don't answer to the people (or the rule of law) anymore.
We will have to work together and do it ourselves.
